燈下另記

(女伶私書) 一 燈未盡低, 你已將夜寫成一半。 我坐近床沿, 看你研墨—— 手穩,心未必。 紙白得太過, 似信一切可留。 我知, 有些事 只適合不寫。 二 你問我可否近。 聲輕得好看, 似風過水面。 我未答。 不是猶豫, 只是想睇—— 你會唔會自己行過嚟。 你果然動了。 慢, 但唔再退。 三 你以為距離係我讓。 其實唔係。 我只係坐喺原位, 等你將世界 收窄到我身邊。 袖碰袖嗰一下, 你以為係偶然。 我冇提醒你—— 有啲「未觸」, 係可以安排。 四 袖微觸袖,未及肌膚,已生暖意。 此非初見,亦非初識, 卻如初寫一字—— 未定其形,先動其意。 我忽然明白: 情不在觸, 在未觸之間。 五 我放筆。 聲極細,卻似一頁翻過。 你望我, 目光無問,卻容我沉下去。 我本自持,亦自知可退—— 然未退。 六 你手在我腕上。 不緊,卻不容忽略。 我呼吸微亂, 如行書忽轉,未曾預設,卻自然成勢。 我笑, 不言教,只以靜應你之近。 七 燈色更低。 影與影相疊, 如字覆字,一層一層,不求清楚。 你近我,我亦不退。 天地未變,而意已改。 八 我心素愛分寸,愛留白,愛未竟之句。 但此刻——筆不可再執。 我知,若再寫,字將亂。 不如任之入骨。 九 「此夜不記。」我低聲道。 你答:「亦不屬誰。」 我心微動, 如古琴一弦,輕觸即響,不敢多按。 十 衣未盡解,意已全開。 燈影之下, 我與你不求相得,只求相知於一瞬。 如墨入紙,不可回頭,不可重寫—— 正因如此,才成其真。 十一 將明未明之際,我復執筆。 紙仍白。 但我知——此夜已在其中。 無字。卻滿。 […]

This famous Great Basin bristlecone pine tree is known as Methuselah, and she is close to 5 thousand years old 🤎

So, a few days ago I cleaned & filled my Hexo with Parker Quink Blue-Black ink. Just now, I decided to doodle a bit on photo paper to see how the ink behaves on smooth/shiny surfaces. Spoiler alert: Besides Schneider's Royal Blue for the rollerballpen, I've found my new everyday blue for fountainpens. 😁

Picture 1 (printed with the ship photo): AgfaPhoto Glossy inkjet paper 4" x 6":

Oh my gosh, what a terribly bad paper! Even during the test print for my printer settings, the photo came out looking shabby. And when writing with the fountain pen, the ink was absorbed poorly and unevenly.

Picture 2, Tetenal Spectre PE Lustre inkjet paper 4" x 6", ~ 12-15 years expired:

The Quink fountain pen ink applies well, has sharp edges, and even on this very old paper, it immediately seeps under the PE protective layer and dries instantly, just like printer inks do (and should!). I didn't expect the Quink to work so well on photo paper.

Unfortunately, Tetenal Spectre has been out of production for a long time and I'm currently living off my remaining stock. Oh, and on regular paper, the Quink Blue-Black behaves just as well. I'm in love! 🙂🙃🤩
